I just got off with psycho Wonder. Had me laughing. Says that by the end of the day $nyder will end up with $anchez, and that barring Sanchez being the next Joe Montana, he will have wrecked the Redskins in the process. Between Hayne$worth and Hall (completely in$ane) and the $tupid rookie guaranteed $alary money, I do not even under$tand how he pull$ it off. If Wonder is right, it'll kill his cap for year$. Snyder needs a straightjacket, he cannot help himself.

BTW, on a separate but related topic, someone please tell me what the NFL is doing with starting this at 4PM? Money, of course, they bump a few extra dollars of tv revenue for the event. BFD. Meanwhile, this is one of the the most important times of the year for all of their franchises, and they sentence these staffs to no sleep this evening as they prepare for tomorrow at 10AM. Becuase you know they won't be done with this until 10pm to midnight, and then the work just begins with sorting through what each team has done, and figuring out who is left to ascertain what to do blah blah. Miserable creatures.

so far, so good for the giants, nice to see the tweeners like maybin gone, the less-rated cb's like jenkins gone. the fact that wonder has darrius butler rated ahead of jenkins does not mean anything, but so far it is a decent set up. at least we don't have to watch the giants trade up for hbey.

I'm praying to the god of every religion that nobody takes Maualuga til 2nd rnd pick 13 so we can nab him still. That would be tremendous. If we got both Nicks and Maualuga, we'd be so bad ass going into camp. Cuz if we got rey also, we could trade kiwi, and then maybe edwards hope would be alive. But none of that is going to happen... we'll see where were at when we are picking, lol.

Clint Sintim is a good OLB, but TOO SOON. NE gets Darius Butler. We had all these OL sitting there, Unger, Beatty, Loadholt. Clint Sintim is not quick or fast enough to be taken at this 45 spot. Not fast enough for OLB. Best as an inside LB in a 3-4, the tackler guy, not the cover guy. So where does he go, asks Wonder. One hope... the guy can hit and the guy can tackle. Groom him to play MLB. But certainly not able to play the Mike on 3rd down.

Sintim was ranked as the 4th best OLB on most draft boards behind Curry and the USC backers. Solid tackler, smart, good in coverage,strong pass rush. Good choice as Reese took the best player available at a position of need.

Wonder does not understand the draft this year. Nicks does not have height. Britt is taller and faster. Jumps higher. Nicks has more polish and better hands. Perhaps. But you cannot teach size and speed. So the homerun is the one with the most potential, and that would be Britt, whom the Titans took at 30.

As for Sintim, where does he play? if you wanted MLB, why not take Maualuga? So Wonder does not understand the Giants draft. And last point by Wonder, how can you not get Braylon Edwards?

Do you trade Hakeem Nicks and a 5th rounder for Braylon Edwards? (Rumor was that CLE wanted a 1 and 5?) Do you trade Nicks and Sintim for Edwards to get him to NY? It makes no sense to Wonder.

FINALLY WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE F WAS GOING ON, THAT JOHNSON AT SAFETY OR BEATTY AT TACKLE WERE FOR NEED. THIS IS HUGE HELP FOR MCKENZIE AND DIEHL. DIEHL CAN EVEN MOVE BACK TO RT AND BEATTY CAN BE YOUR LT TOO.

Beatty is a tremendously athletic tackle who has superior feet. He moves well laterally and gets to the second level instantly. He engages on the opposition quickly and does a good job of keeping defenders at arms length. He doesn’t sustain blocks very long, but can hold his own. He displays good awareness and works well with his linemates. He’s still developing as a player, but his upside is off the charts. - Chris Steuber, Scout.com

Justin- Reese is very smart and obvly has access to more info than we have. The next post, which sums up the day, addresses that point in a more macro way. We all trust Reese. I just think it was not in the cards for us for where we were picking to get a LBer to fall to us that would have been as desirable. In 3 years we will have to look back and see about Phillips, Ellerbe, Brinkley, Freeman, as potential LBers who could have been taken ahead of Sintim (and are still available). Perhaps we can find one of these tomorrow. I am mostly disappointed about not getting Edwards and then simultaneously doing what I dislike so much, committing all of these resources in the draft to WR YEAR AFTER YEAR, unrelenting.

Why Ultimatenyg?

Ultimatenyg is your site for sharing ideas and insight into the Giants. The New York Times calls Ultimatenyg an "incisive commentator... that always brings good information and analysis to the table." Here we get to warn you hours BEFORE gametime that Eli is vulnerable to Darren Sharper and the Vikes, BEFORE a record 4 INT game. We alerted the Giants world to Ahmad Bradshaw in AUGUST 2007 in PRESEASON. There is a reason why the New York Times has featured ULTIMATENYG articles dozens of times... strong content.

Glad to have you with us.
